Broadway Office Proposal Revised as Rental Apartments

Chard Development has applied to the City of Vancouver to revise their office project at 8 East Broadway to switch uses to rental residential.

The site is located at the southeast corner of East Broadway & Ontario Street in the ‘Broadway Shoulder Area East – Area B (MBSB)’ sub-area of the Broadway Plan.

A previous rezoning for the site was approved in 2020 for a 12-storey office building totaling 125,000 SF. Changing market conditions and the subsequent adoption of the Broadway Plan has prompted Chard to seek an alternate development scenario for the 16,100 SF site.

The new proposal is to permit a 14-storey rental residential building, including:

  • 152 market rental units;
  • 55 studios, 42 one-bedrooms, 38 two bedrooms & 17 three-bedrooms;
  • 4,200 SF of retail space on the ground floor;
  • Floorplates ranging from 7,300 to 11,700 SF;
  • A total density of 7.5 FSR;
  • A building height of 148 ft.;
  • 74 vehicle parking spaces and 320 bicycle spaces; and
  • A publicly accessible bike share station.

The Broadway Plan requires a minimum of one floor of ‘job space’ above the ground floor. The application by Chard is requesting consideration of market rental on the second floor, which is a deviation of policy.

The architect for the project is MCMP Architects.

The site was acquired in 2021 for $42,000,000, or $336 per buildable SF based on the revised application.

Amacon Planning 61-storey Condo/Hotel Project for Brentwood Site

Amacon has submitted a rezoning application to the City of Burnaby for 46,640 SF site at 2211-2271 Rosser Avenue in the Brentwood Town Centre area.

The application proposed a highrise development as well as a density transfer from a nearby site at 5166 Halifax Street.

The Rosser site is currently improved with older industrial units and a residential sales centre. Under the Brentwood Town Centre Development Plan, the site is designated for medium to high-density mixed-use development utilizing the RM4, RM4s, RM4r, and C9 Districts as guidelines.

The proposal for the Rosser site includes:

  • a 61-storey highrise;
  • 541 residential units, including:
  • 442 condos
  • 27 market rentals;
  • 72 non-market rentals;
  • 172 hotel rooms in 11-storey podium;
  • a total density of 11.45 FAR;
  • 614 underground parking spaces.

Regarding the density transfer, the City notes: “A density transfer will facilitate the replacement of ageing rental units at the Halifax Site, as well as provide additional non-market and market rental units, while maintaining a scale of development that is in keeping with the intent of the Plan and adjacent developments. As outlined in that report, the construction of both sites will be phased, with the subject site (Rosser Site) proceeding to occupancy prior to the redevelopment of the Halifax Site. This would provide the opportunity for residents of the Halifax site to relocate to the Rosser Site on an interim basis, until the Halifax Site attains occupancy and their replacement rental units can be occupied.”
